| Imagine this, you walk into a packed arena. The seats and bleachers are packed, and the noise is defeaning. Your stomach is in knots as you await your turn on the court. The competition is fierce, strategies are tried, balls are thrown, and hopes are smashed.
Okay so last night wasn't all that but it was beyond a shadow of doubt the best dodgeball tourny that I have ever had the opportunity to be apart of. Even though my team "Dodge This" took second place we had a ton of fun. There were something like 130 people there and 13 teams. How great is that, and the winning team received a two hundred dollar cash prize. My team ended up losing in the championship game, so close.......
Here is our team. From left to right (top) Me, Drew, John, Natalie
(bottom) Val, Ryan, Andy
This is my team collecting the balls and then quickly dispactching our first opponent!!

| Two months ago in mid August my family and my girlfriend dropped me off at school in Chicago. In that time I have not seen either my family or my girlfriend. However this past weekend was fall break and I got to see Alicia. I took a train up to a city near her house then spent some time with her and her family till sunday when I came back to school.
We had an awesome time with her family, and on Sunday her mom made an awesome chicken dinner for us after church. Thanks for the good food Mrs. B!!
We watched Detroit sweep the A's. DETROIT WHAT?!?! Who knew that she was such a baseball fan. There no pictures but Alicia and I played a little catch too.
I know that it looks like the two of us are just sitting in this picture but we went to an apple orchard too. The apple fritters were great. It was absolutly wonderful to see her!

| I have a funny story to tell that happened in the parking lot of the baseball field I play and practice on.
I was leaving practice and as usual there in the parking lot a bunch of the guys were hanging out after practice. Well I went to my car deposited my bat bag in the trunck and took out a protein bar to munch on while I went over to talk to hang out. However in the mean time one of the guys got into my bag to get himself some food. This is where the story gets funny! There was no food left in my bag but he did find several million dollars.
These are my favorite tracts (and the easiest conversation starters). So he tells me I am taking all your money. Then after taking the tracts he starts giving millions of dollars to the guys on the baseball team. I have given tracts to some of them before and probably talked to all of them about the eternal things, but you can realize I hope how funny it was to see them passing out tracts and reading them to each other.
Anyway when you check out that link think about ordering some of those tracts and passing them out. They are only 5 cents a piece, and it is a great way to start a conversation. For insight and teaching on evangalism go to Way of the Master. |

| In our unstable and convoluted society there are many questions that we seek answers for. Questions like:
Is abortion right?
What should we be allowed to do with Stem Cells?
Should creation be taught in public schools?
What should be done about our education systems?
Who is going to pay for the disaster left in the wake of hurricane Katrina?
And finally How Much Muscle is Too Much Muscle?
I have been having a discussion with some friends and family about the attractiveness of the amount of muscles this man carries on his body. Wanting to ask a much broader base of people with as little effort as possible I thought I would throw this online. What do you guys think, is this guys muscle load too much or not? |
